ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of
pixels may be “stuck”, either always off (black), always
on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a
long period of use, because of the physical characteristics
of the liquid crystal display, such “stuck” pixels may
appear spontaneously. These problems are not a
malfunction. Note that any such problems have no effect
on recorded data.
LCD image display
Due the physical characteristics of LCD panels, there may
be a decrease in brightness or change in color temperature
over a long period of use. These problems are not a

In addition, these occurrences will not affect recorded
data.
On consumable parts
• The HDD, fan, battery, and BD/DVD drive are
consumable parts that will need periodic replacement.
When operating at room temperature, a normal
replacement cycle will be about 2 to 3 years.
However, this replacement cycle represents only a
general guideline and does not imply that the life
expectancy of these parts is guaranteed. For details on
parts replacement, contact your dealer.
• The life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitor is about
5 years under normal operating temperatures and
normal usage (8 hours per day; 25 days per month). If
usage exceeds the above normal usage frequency, the
life expectancy may be reduced correspondingly.

This unit has a built-in hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD
is a precision device. If subject to shock, vibration, static
electricity, high temperature or humidity, data loss can
occur. When installing and using the unit, closely observe
the following precautions.
Protect from shocks and vibrations
When subject to shocks or vibrations, the HDD can be
damaged and loss of data on the HDD can occur.
• When transporting the unit, use the specified packing
material. When transporting on a dolly or similar, use a
type which does not transmit excessive vibrations.
Excessive shocks and vibrations can damage the HDD.
• Never move the unit while it is powered.
• Do not remove panels or outer parts of the unit.
14
• When placing the unit on a floor or other surface, make
sure that the unit is equipped with the specified rubber
feet, and put the unit down carefully. If there are no feet,
mount the rubber feet first.
• Do not place the unit near other devices that may
become a source of vibrations.
Wait for 30 seconds after turning power off
For a brief interval after the power is turned off, the
platters inside the HDD will still keep spinning and the
heads will be in an insecure position. During this interval,
the unit is more susceptible to shocks and vibrations than
during normal operation. For a period of at least 30
seconds after turning power off, avoid subjecting the unit
even to very light shocks. After this period, the hard disk
will be fully stopped and the unit can be manipulated.
Temperature and humidity related precautions
Use and store the unit only in locations where the
specified temperature and humidity ranges are not
exceeded. (Be sure to use the unit that conforms fully to
the specifications of this unit.)
When the HDD seems to be faulty
Even if the HDD is showing signs of malfunction, be sure
to observe all the above precautions. This will prevent
further damage from occurring until the problem can be
diagnosed and corrected.
Replacement of the HDD and other consumable
parts
The HDD and battery are consumable parts that will need
periodic replacement. When operating at room
temperature, a normal replacement cycle will be about
two to three years. However, this replacement cycle
represents only a general guideline and does not imply
that the life expectancy of these parts is guaranteed. For
details on parts replacement, contact your dealer.
Precautions for products with built-in
optical disc drives
This unit has a built-in optical disc drive. Optical disc
drives are precision devices, and malfunctions due to
dust, temperature, and humidity can occur. When
installing or using the unit, closely observe the following
precautions.
• Dust
Avoid environments with excessive dust when storing
or operating the unit.
Dust may accumulate on the pickup lens or motor,
resulting in write errors to the optical disc.
• Temperature and humidity
Store and operate the unit within the specified
temperature and humidity ranges. (See
“Specifications.”)
Notes on media
Operation with all optical media or USB media is not Usage Notes
guaranteed. Contact your dealer regarding the type of
media you intend to use.
Do not block the vents
To prevent the interior of the unit from overheating,
maintain a clearance of at least 10 cm (4 in.) around the
unit.

Do not subject the unit to severe shocks

The internal mechanism may be damaged or the body
warped.

Do not cover the unit while operating

Doing so will cause temperatures to rise inside the unit,
possibly resulting in failure.

After use
Press the 1 (on/standby) switch to enter standby mode. If
you do not intend to use the unit for an extended period,
set the main power switch to the a (off) position after
entering standby mode, and then disconnect the power
cord.

Shipping
• Remove the BD/DVD disc before transporting the unit.
• If sending the unit by truck, ship, air or other
transportation service, pack it in the shipping carton of
the unit.

Care of the unit

If the casing, or panel becomes dirty, wipe them gently
with a soft, dry cloth.
For stubborn dirt, use a cloth wet with mild liquid
detergent to wipe the unit, and then wipe it with a dry
cloth. Using alcohol, thinner, benzine, insecticides, or
other volatile substances may damage the surface of the
unit or remove the finish.
Use isopropyl alcohol with a concentration of 50% to
70% (v/v) or ethanol with a concentration of 76.9% to
81.4% (v/v) to clean the surface of the unit.

In the event of operating problems

If you should experience problems with the unit, contact
your Sony dealer.

Features
Improved efficiency during and after
medical procedures
Video and still image recording
Record videos and still images from endoscopic devices
and cameras used in the operating room. HD/SD-
compatibility allows recording and playback in high
definition. Recording and playback of 3D images is also
supported.
Ch1/Ch2 simultaneous recording
The unit is equipped with a Ch1/Ch2 simultaneous
recording function that automatically performs Ch2
recording during Ch1 recording.
“Ch” refers to the channels on which recording and
playback are performed, and the unit allows control of up
to two channels simultaneously.
Simultaneous saving to two external storage
media devices
Data can be saved to two external media devices while it
is being recorded to the internal hard disk.
Printer connectivity
Connect the unit to a printer, and print images via simple
controls from the [Image List] screen. You can also
configure settings to print images when they are captured.
The printed images can be used in simple medical reports.
Vital sign input support
Vital sign monitoring information (i.e., vitals data) can be
input to the unit as images and recorded. By using the
PinP function, you can even superimpose the vitals data
on endoscopic images, for example, and record.
Tip
To input vitals data, the monitoring device must support
RGB output.
Support for a variety of external storage media
Record simultaneously to USB-compatible external hard
drives and USB memory devices via simple controls, or
copy the data at a later time. This is useful when you want
to edit recorded images on a computer.

WARNING
Using this unit for medical purposes
The connectors on this unit are not isolated.
Always use USB-compatible external hard drives and
USB memory devices that operate solely on the power
supplied by the unit.
Connecting a device that operates on an AC power supply
may result in an influx of leakage currents from the
connected device, which may in turn result in electric
shocks to the patient and operator.
If use of such devices cannot be avoided, be sure to
connect an isolation transformer to the power supply of
the connected device or connect an isolator between the
connection cables to isolate the power supply, and verify
that the risk of electric shock from the system has been
sufficiently reduced to levels that conform to IEC 60601-
1 standards.
Editing recorded data
Record images to external media, and use commercially
available software to play back or edit the images on a
computer as necessary.
For details on playback and editing software, contact
your local Sony representative.
Network file transfer
Transfer recorded data from the operating room directly
to computers within the hospital network.
WARNING
Using this unit for medical purposes
This equipment’s connectors are not isolated.
Do not connect any device other than one which conforms
to IEC 60601-1.
When an information technology device or AV device
that uses an alternating current is connected, current
leakage may result in an electric shock to the patient or
operator.
If use of such a device is unavoidable, isolate its power
supply by connecting an isolation transformer, or by
